An Embedded Software Primer 1999 Edition by David E Simon

An Embedded Software Primer is a clearly written, insightful manual for engineers interested in writing embedded-system software. The example-driven approach puts you on a fast track to understanding embedded-system programming and applying what you learn to your projects. This book will give you the necessary foundation to work confidently in this field. Building on a basic knowledge of computer programming concepts, this book will help you to learn core principles and advanced techniques of embedded-system software. Find out what a real-time operating system (RTOS) does and how to use one effectively. Experiment with sample code and the µC/OS RTOS version 1.11 (on the accompanying CD). Apply what you learn, no matter which microprocessor or RTOS you use.
